Reciprocity

 I think I got frustrated, you see,

Because I know how I want love to be.

If you send me a reel, I’ll drop everything,

I won’t just watch your story without seeing your thing.

Baby, I’ll react, I’ll never ignore,

Even if I’m busy, I’ll give you more.

I’ll pick up your calls, say, “Hold on a sec,”

Then dive right back in, give you all my respect.

I know we get tired, and life’s a race,

But I’d never leave you feeling misplaced.

If you text me “Good morning,” I’ll answer with care,

I’d Say"Good morning, did you eat?

Are you well?"

It's love in the details, the stories I tell.

The love I send, I hope to receive,

Not out of demand, just the way I believe.

When I say, “I miss you,” I hope you’ll come flying,

Because I’d cross any distance without even trying.

Come over, I’ll wake you, make breakfast at dawn,

And make sure you’re ready when work rolls on.

If I’m on a flight, I’ll text you midair,

To ease your worries, let you know I care.

I want you to know, with nothing but surety,

I’m the girl who’ll love you with purity.

Picture me and the kids as you walk through the door,

Hearing your car, we’ll be out the door, 

Waiting to wrap you in our warm embrace that comes from the core.

Every day with you, I want to celebrate,

Keep that energy, let’s never stagnate.

The love you showed when you wanted me near,

Shouldn’t fade now that I’m already here.

No excuses, no bare minimum plea,

Just meet me halfway, Let’s love equally.

I believe in us, I put in the time,

So why can’t your love match the weight of mine?

I hate to plead for what should be known,

Love is a garden, it must be grown.

So hear my heart, and see my view, I only ask what I give to you.
